I'm having problems connecting my PC speaker. I found the manual of my motherboard, and it says I need to connect the speaker at "JFP location 6-10":

My speaker connectors have two pins:

I tried to connect the pins here... (red square):

...But it didn't work. I'm doing this wrong? What does 6-10 mean?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, I never build a pc before.

Pins 6 & 10, here is a scan of part of the manual. The attached .zip has more images.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Thank you, it worked!
I connected it to pins 7 & 10 instead of 6 & 10, like the manual you posted was showing.
